But I’d recommend pushing your X for brand partnerships. There still aren’t a lot of traditional integrations here, so when a brand actually shows up, how you see them changes IMO.. Brands are still skeptical because of all the leftover negativity toward “Twitter.” That’s the opportunity. I actually read posts here, watch the videos, and pay attention in a way I don’t on other platforms. I would say the same for Threads too. Threads surprisingly holds a lot of attention.

Totally. There are more than enough resources and knowledge out there, but it takes action and grit and perseverance to keep pushing through

I talk to a lot of Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube creators who still aren’t on X. Brands want to spend here — it’s where you can become a thought leader, react to news, and actually show your expertise. I also talk to a lot of X creators wondering why the brand partnerships, invites, and marquee names never show up. Those opportunities live on the other platforms because that’s where the decision-makers discover them. Both sides are leaving a lot on the table!

A lot of creators treat year one or two like they just got their first job and already want to be VP. Peaks are normal. Strong stretches are normal. The work is staying in it long enough for the experience and the relationships to actually compound…. That’s genuinely what the part a manager is for. Reminding you this is a career, not a moment. Think long term, be patient!

If you average 10,000 views a video on YouTube these days, you can make a living the way someone generating 50,000 views a video could only a few years ago

Poor time management during the kids’ drop-off this morning left me with no choice but to get an iced coffee from Starbucks. Knew I’d regret it before I even ordered. But we stay positive. Gonna be a great day.
